If you see people walking down a street and coming to a junction, it’s difficult to predict which direction they might take. But, if you…
Ice loss from Antarctica and Greenland account for roughly a half-inch of sea level rise between 2003 and 2019. Using the most advanced Earth-observing laser…
Scientists have been able to observe the universe and determine that about 80% of its mass appears to be “dark matter,” which exerts a gravitational…
An analysis of 369 solar-like stars shows that solar brightness variations are extremely weak. The extent to which solar activity (and thus the number of…

Paleontologist and National Geographic Explorer finds unique swimming adaptations in a dinosaur. Scientists have long opposed the idea that dinosaurs lived in aquatic habitats. Now,…
The recently retired infrared observatory was the only telescope to spot a far-off flash of light that holds clues about the physical characteristics of these…
Using machine learning, a team of Western computer scientists and biologists have identified an underlying genomic signature for 29 different COVID-19 DNA sequences. This new…
The large near-Earth object is well known to astronomers and will get no closer than 3.9 million miles to our planet. A large near-Earth asteroid…
A direct, observation-based test of one of the pillars of cosmology. The universe is full of billions of galaxies — but their distribution across space…
